The designer of the C-Cactus, Gilles Vidal, says "we wanted to look at the whole environmental question from dust to dust. We quickly realised we wanted a lighter car.

So, either the efficiency must increase or the cost to produce the cells must decrease. It looks like Professor W.S. Sampath from Colorado St
When the wraps are finally taken off the new Nissan GT-R in Tokyo next month there'll be little left to reveal, save a few minor exterior elements and a production-ready interior.
